Terracotta sculptuur van Venus met de Liefde op haar arm before 1857

This terracotta sculpture, created by Marcel Gustave Laverdet before 1857, depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, carrying Cupid on her arm. The artwork, measuring 369 mm in height and 265 mm in width, captures a moment of tenderness and affection between the two figures. Venus's flowing robes and Cupid's playful pose convey a sense of grace and elegance. The sculpture is a testament to Laverdet's skill in capturing the essence of classical mythology in a three-dimensional form.
